The short version

  • Only OsmAnd has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: OsmAnd free version limited to only 7 map downloads at once, restricting users who need multiple regional maps; Webfleet ownership sits with a tyre manufacturer, so product investment follows the tyre and vehicle services strategy, and features that do not feed that business have historically moved slowly.
  • They diverge on capability: OsmAnd covers Core Functionality, Webfleet covers Tachograph management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

OsmAnd

  • Free version limited to only 7 map downloads at once, restricting users who need multiple regional maps
  • Poor performance with slow map rendering and navigation lag reported on older devices
  • Route calculation limited to approximately 200 kilometers or less for offline calculation
  • Map accuracy issues due to reliance on community OpenStreetMap data which may contain outdated information

Webfleet

  • Ownership sits with a tyre manufacturer, so product investment follows the tyre and vehicle services strategy, and features that do not feed that business have historically moved slowly.
  • North American coverage is thin next to the European operation, with a smaller partner network and an hours of service product that is not competitive with purpose-built ELD vendors.
  • Useful compliance capability sits in add-on tiers, so remote tachograph download and advanced reporting push the real per vehicle cost well above the entry quote.
  • The camera line arrived later than the market and offers less on-device detection and less coaching workflow than Lytx or Samsara, so safety-driven buyers often end up running a second system.
  • Contracts are hardware-led and usually multi-year, so replacing Webfleet means either running out the term or writing off installed devices that have no resale value.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

OsmAnd: Does OsmAnd work offline?

Yes. OsmAnd works fully offline after downloading maps for specific regions. Route calculation, turn-by-turn navigation, and POI search all work without an internet connection.

Source
Webfleet: Is Webfleet still connected to TomTom?

No. TomTom sold the telematics business to Bridgestone in 2019. There is still navigation and mapping heritage in the driver terminals, but the owner and the strategy are Bridgestone.

OsmAnd: What is OsmAnd's pricing?

OsmAnd Free version is available with limitations including only 7 map downloads allowed at once and no 3D map views. OsmAnd Pro subscription costs 2.99 euros per month or 29.99 euros per year, offering 3D maps, hourly map refreshes, and cloud storage.

Source
Webfleet: Can it handle US ELD requirements?

There is an offering, but it is not the strength of the platform. A fleet whose main problem is US hours of service compliance should look at vendors built around that mandate.

OsmAnd: What maps does OsmAnd use?

OsmAnd uses free OpenStreetMap data, which is updated monthly or hourly through OsmAnd Live. Wikipedia POI data is available for sightseeing, and users can add optional online tile map overlays.

Source
Webfleet: Do I have to buy Bridgestone tyres to use it?

No. The tyre services integration is optional. It is worth pricing as a bundle if you already buy from Bridgestone, because that is where the discounting sits.

OsmAnd: Can I use OsmAnd on iOS and Android?

Yes. OsmAnd is available on both iOS via Apple App Store and Android via Google Play Store, with identical offline functionality on both platforms.
